Week 66: November 19, 2018 - Conferences

Dear Family,

We had a couple conferences this week that were super amazing!!! I loved hearing President Fillmore, our mission president, speak. He follows the spirit so well!!! A couple things I took out of the conferences: 

1) In Moses 1:39, it talks about God's purpose-immortality and eternal life of man. Immortality is the quantity, everybody gets that, and eternal life is the quality. That's where we as missionaries come in. We are here to enhance other people's lives and eternity.

2)You can tell someone is being converted to Christ's gospel by the way they serve others.


It really was a neat conference! It was actually pretty funny, because we did a transmission with the members on one of the other islands, so we had to use a broadcast system. The microphones had to be put together so that the other people could hear. One of the leaders during the conference came up and duck taped it all together so that it could stay up. It looked like it is in the photo below.



It was pretty funny.
Love you all tons!!! have a great week!!!

Dear Family, How y'all been?!?! You all look so good in your pics that you are  sending me! Seriously such an awesome family!!!!! It was an amazing Easter week this week. This week was sort of taken  over by meetings. We spent almost an entire day at a zone conference. It was actually super neat. Im really loving all the meetings we have  to learn and become better missionaries. One thing that our mission is  really focusing on right now is boldness. Its actually something I  really need to learn. Our president is amazing! He speaks to us with a  lot of power and authority. He told us that boldness was not being annoying or even forceful, it was teaching the gospel with clarity and  firmness. He said the way to develop that was be first, believing in  the gospel, then having faith, then repenting, then feeling the Holy  Ghost, then continuing with the process. It was basically the gospel  of Jesus Christ. I thought it was interesting...
